Adults Ages 19 Through 26

Young adults need vaccines, too. Vaccines protect young adults from getting serious and even deadly diseases. They may be especially important if you’re living in close quarters with others — like college dorms — and sharing bedrooms, bathrooms, and food. This can make you more likely to come into contact with dangerous germs.

By getting vaccinated, you can help keep yourself, your family, and your community healthy.

It’s important for young adults to get vaccines that protect against diseases like the flu and whooping cough. You also need to be up to date on meningococcal and HPV vaccines.
